Don't stop holding your breath yet, this was just a holus-bolus move to a new subdomain, not a rejig. Nonetheless, I've noticed the active topics link now works.

Caveat: I'm not saying "just" to undervalue what was involved, only to compare this to what is to come, which is probably why Mikey's talking about having a beta version first to see what happens.

Personally, I don't care if we lose everything, including my post count (so what?) and start from scratch, just as long as the old one is archived read only somewhere. Then the thread repeat police can tell people to go and look it up in the archive and the irretrievably nostalgic can remove themselves from real time entirely if they so desire.

Yes - we will upgrade the actual forum software and the skin in the near future.

A new site Zappa.com will be launching this week. We've gone back and rebuilt the site from the ground up and will be going live in "beta" mode with limited content. Beyond that, we'll continue to add to, expand and improve!

Thanks Slime - appreciate the input.We will work to add these features if possible over time.

My first plan is to upgrade to the latest version of PHPBB3. One of the issues we had in the past was using forum add-ons that weren't always updated at the same time as the software, so there were often conflicts or things broke if we upgraded. Much has happened with phpBB since then, and they have a super robust developer community now, so I feel more comfortable installing the add-ons. The latest version of the software also features more robust features that will cater to some of your requests.
